Peach Pie

I love peaches and I love peach pie. Last week I made a vegan pumpkin pie filling, which I will post soon. I had one frozen whole wheat crust left over, so decided to fill it with some delicious organic peaches from the market.

Ingredients:

- pie crust (mine was store-bought)

- 6 peaches, sliced

- 1 Tbsp white sugar

- 1 Tbsp whole wheat flour

- 1 tsp cinnamon

- 1 tsp powdered ginger

Stir the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and ginger in with the sliced peaches:

Here is the crust I bought at Ballard Market:

Plop the peaches into the crust and bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes or so.

I didn't have a top crust, but it still tastes amazing. Of course, make your filling any way you like it. Some recipes call for tapioca, or other thickening ingredients. I just sprinkled in what I had in the kitchen. I think it would be good to throw in some fresh ginger for a little zip!
